Nox Aurumque
(English translation)
Gold,
Tarnished and dark,
Singing of night,
Singing of death,
Singing itself to sleep...
And an angel dreams of dawnings, and of war.
She weeps tears of the golden times
Tears of the cost of war.
O Shield!
O gilded blade!
You are too heavy to carry
Too heavy for flight.
Gold, tarnished and weary,
Awaken!
Melt from weapon into wing!
Let us soar again,
High above this wall;
Angels reborn and rejoicing
With wings made
Of dawn,
Of gold,
Of dream.
Gold,
Singing of wings,
Singing of shadows...
Charles Anthony Silvestri, 1965-present
